Grade 3 Writing Worksheet
Write a friendly letter. Fill in each part.
Write a friendly letter to a grandparent. Tell about a trip your class took. Write a greeting, three or four sentences and a closing.
A friendly letter is written to someone you know, and it has a set of parts: a greeting that begins with Dear and the person's name, a body that tells your news in complete sentences, a closing such as Love or Your friend, and your name. On this worksheet your child gets one prompt and a space for each part, so the work is to say something worth sharing and to put each part in its place.
Building Confidence asks for a greeting, two sentences and a closing, On Level asks for three or four sentences, and Challenge Me asks for at least five sentences and a signature. Each of the six versions has its own reader: a grandparent, a faraway friend, a pen pal, a teacher, a cousin, a neighbor. The answer key shows a model letter, and any letter with all the parts is correct.
Common Core standard: W.3.4, W.3.10
Dear Grandpa, Last week my class went to the museum. I wish you could come. Love, Mia
